The Strike Extends to Another Divi-
sion of the Road.
Ell PAso, MEX, Aug. 17.-The third
division engineers of the Mexican Central
railroad went out yesterday. The three
divisions now out represent $50 miles of
track Passenger trains are running on two
divisions of the road.
The strike ipterferes with the running of
trains, about fifty engineers having left
their locomotives with their firemea. The
officials Of the road are hiring all
the competent men that can be
found Freight will be kept back
from the United States until the freight
engines can be manned. II is reported to
day that some OF the strikers now regard
the movement as bad blunder, and the
question is beginning to be asked if
Sutor, who issued the order for the strike,
as Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers for Mexico, did not usurp author
ity belonging only to Chief Arthur. The
officials of the company say that the cause
of the strike was frivolous and that they
cannot give an inch, having already ac-
ceded to all reasonable demands. Public
opinion does not sustain the strikers.

Great Damage Done to Property All
over the City.


ATHENS, GA, Aug. 17.-This afternoon
about o'clock Athens was visited by one
of the most terrific wind storms ever expe-
rieuced, by the oldest inhabitants. Large
trees and strong fences that happened to be
in the path of the destroying element were
wTenched from their places and hurled in
every direction. Several streets are almost
blockaded with limbs and large trees.
At the beautiful home of Mrs. S. NJ
Hughes, on Upper Milledge avenue, the
wind blew with such force as TO cause the
roofing TO give way and the fragments of
the chimney fell to the first floor
ALMOST A FATALITY.
A little daughter Of Mrs. Hughes, who
happened to be in the room at the time,
came near being hit on the head by brick.
A part of the steeple of the First Baptist
Church was blown off and fell with dread
full crash TO the ground.
On Clayton street large sign was blown
down, striking horse and knocking him
several yards.
The wind storm was followed by a very
hard rain which did considerable damage to
property exposed by the wind Nearly
every street in Athens is left with some
evidence of the storm. Reports from the
country state that great damage has been
done 10 crops.

STANLEY'S SAFETY.
A Report that He Has Been Massacred
Reaches Paris.


PARIS, Aug IA dispatch from Zanzi-
bar has been received at the Foreign Office
which says: Henry NJ Stanley, the ex-
plorer has been massacred by natives, after
having been deserted by his escort"
THE REPORT DIscREDITEp.
LONDON, Aug. 17.-The report sent from
Zanzibar to the French Foreign Office an
nouncing that Explorer Stanley had been.
deserted by his escort and massacred by ma
tives is not credited here. Neither the For
eign Office nor the Emin Bey Relief Com
mittee has received any news regarding the
alleged massacre. The officials of
the Foreign Office are surprised
at the intelligence in the dispatch received
by the French government, and say that if
the news of Stanley's death has been re-
ceived at Zanzibar, the British agent there
had failed to send it. Sir Francis DeWin-
ton, President of the Emin Bey Re
lief Commission, says that trustworthy news
of the Stanley expedition, could not possibly
have arrived at Zanzibar so soon after the
arrival of the expedition at Aruwimi on
June H. At the offices of the Congo Free
State Association in Brussels and in other
well informed circles the report that ex-
plorer Stanley was murdered is discredited.

Mason, Of Piper City, and Roadmaster
Ennis before reaching a conclusion. Some
OF the jurors are not satisfied with the con-

early Wednesday evening TO fire on the
track. Other jurors are slow to censure
section Master Coughlin until they know
precisely all about the orders he
received from Roadmaster Ennis. The
jury this morning was evenly divided
on the nature of their verdict. Three OF
the jurors-Postmaster Sears, and the
farmers Shea and Brigham-wanted TO

received at the War Department to-day
from Gen. Terry stating that the Governor
OF Colorado has requested Gen. Crook TO
assist the civil authorities in serving proc
ess upon two Ute bucks who
had been indicted by the grand
jury Gen. Terry asked for
Instructions for the guidance of himself and
Gen. Crook in the matter. A telegram
was sent in reply directing him to hold
troops in readiness to give aid at moments
notice in case of necessity.
The War Department has received no Of
hclal information upon the reported en-
gagement between Colorow's band and the
Sheriff's posse, and the military authorities
do not feel authorized to order troops to
assist the civil authorities in their efforts to
arrest the indicted Indians In the
event of the defeat of the posse
and Colorow's taking to the war path Gen.
Crook, who is near at hand, has full author
lty to take any needful action to protect
the people. In view of the absence of any
offlclal information of an outbreak, how
ever, the War Department officials are dis
posed to characterize most of the reports re-
celved as exaggerations.

break is to the effect that Sheriff Kendall

ed, the Indians asked an escort through the

as rapidly as possible. He anticipated an
attack upon Meeker and all the unprotected
settlements and ranches as soon as Colorow's
three bands are united. United States Mar

FERpINAND's BAD FIX.
Both Russia and Germany Opposed to
His Course

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. H-The Journal
de ST. Petersburg says the Russian En-
bassy at Constantinople has handed to the
Porte protest against Prince Ferdinand's
occupancy of the Bulgarian throne. 1t
declares that he has been guilty
of an audacious attempt against
the rights of the powers, and that
responsibility for his adventure and for his
fragrant violation of these rights must now
rest entirely with him, even should other
powers think fit to permit violations of their
privileges. The Journal, however, makes
this pertinent inquiry: Can it be supposed
that Russia will consider herself alone bound
to become defender of what remains of the
Berlin treatys"
An eminent police official expresses the
opinion that the revolutionary movement
in Russia continues to spread rapidly,
especially among the students and priests.
The Minister of the Interior has ordered
that close watch be kept on the academies,
schools and other institutions.
GERMANY's ATTITUDE
LONDON, Aug. 17.-The German agent at
Sofia has been instructed to continue admin
istrative relations with the Bulgarian gov
ernment but to avoid anything of a
nature that might lead Prince
Ferdinand to suppose that Germany
was holding official relations with him.
The French Consuls in Bulgaria have been
instructed to discontinue even business rela-
tions with the government.
BISMARCK AGAINST THE PRINCE.
BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE North German
Gdzette'S article, saying that Germany can
not approve Prince Ferdinand's course, is
supposed to have been inspired by Prince
Bismarck, as a result of his interview with
Count Schouveloff, the Russian ambassa-
